"Cao Ya doesn't rely on heaven or earth, he only relies on himself!"
"Cao Ya doesn't have any cheats!"
Facing the countless gods and buddhas, Cao Ya spoke withou...
Previously, those evil spirits who were killed as a warning to others and went into hiding after being injured during the breakout from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zilingzhou, Qiushuangzhai, and Nuanxiangwu were all killed by Cao Ya's secret attacks!
Their original energy completely dissipated and merged into the Grand View Garden, boosting the immortal array and making it even more terrifying!
That dragon was the first time the women had ever truly killed a Great Luo Realm enemy head-on!
Cao Ya was naturally quite pleased, as this indicated that the women's cultivation was almost back to its peak from their previous lives!
Given the women's circumstances, it is not impossible for them to surpass what they have achieved in the past.
If one can seize their own destiny and achievements in the final stage of the Dream of the Red Chamber case... then advancing two or three levels will be a certainty.
"Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, and Jia Xichun all followed different paths."
"They may not be the same as they were before, but their future is still bright. —Provided they don't perish prematurely and become 'cultivation resources' for powerful figures!"
The painted boats on the great lake set sail, carrying many women, their fragrance filling the air, their beauty unparalleled.
The surrounding sea monsters, fearing the annihilation of the dragon, hesitated whether to pounce on the painted boat!
They too have fallen into the same predicament as all the evil spirits.
Of course, the main reason is that demons and monsters cherish their own lives, which is not a problem in itself. However, in a life-or-death battle, they are easily scared off by their opponents' desperate fighting spirit!
Although they came to the Grand View Garden on the orders of a high-ranking official to plunder the golden hairpins.
This trip required a little effort, but it wasn't a big problem and was acceptable to them.
But if it endangers my life and fortune... then forget it, I'm absolutely not willing to take such a big risk!
Why did they ally themselves with the Chaos Demon God and others? Wasn't it to seek the methods of great supernatural beings in order to achieve personal kingship or sainthood?
To lose one's life for this would be putting the cart before the horse.
Cao Ya's gaze was not only fixed on this group of people, but also on Hengwu Garden, Yihong Courtyard, and Longcui Nunnery.
Now, let's talk about Hengwu Garden. This place is Xue Baochai's residence. Shi Xiangyun from the Shi family, who is occasionally brought to Rongguo Mansion by Grandmother Jia, mostly stays in Hengwu Garden. Only from time to time will she go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Qiushuangzhai, and other places to rest.
"Oh, Xiangyun, how come you have the image of a Qilin?" Xue Baochai asked in surprise.
"Bang!" Shi Xiangyun made a hand seal, and her supernatural power erupted. A golden Qilin appeared out of nowhere, its fur was fierce, its eyes were sharp, and it roared to the sky, shaking the heavens!
When Xue Baochai and the others saw this, they were all astonished. After all, the original Shi Xiangyun did have some skills related to the Qilin, which came from the golden Qilin she wore with her. However, it was not Shi Xiangyun's main cultivation method; at most, it was a secondary cultivation method!
Unlike now, when he is completely practicing the fundamental law he is cultivating, his supernatural powers are unparalleled!
Hearing Xue Baochai's question, Shi Xiangyun herself was quite confused.
"I don't know either," Shi Xiangyun shook her head, looking completely bewildered.
The magic of the Shi family has absolutely nothing to do with the Qilin lineage.
Although the golden unicorn is extraordinary, one cannot enter the Qilin Great Art simply by using it, can one?
Shi Xiangyun didn't think she had any extraordinary talent in the path of the auspicious beast Qilin.
But the facts are undeniable, and no matter how incomprehensible it may seem, we can only accept them.
Moreover, for Shi Xiangyun, the rapid advancement of her magical powers was also a good thing.
The current enemies are not just three or five, but each one is guaranteed to be at least at the Great Luo Realm, which is extremely powerful!
The stronger she is, the better!
"My cultivation level is also rising!" Shi Xiangyun scratched her head. Could it be that I had a past life that was related to the auspicious Qilin beast?
The Qilin clan was the dominant race between heaven and earth during the early Dragon-Han era.
However, it quickly declined afterward. Although it was known as an "auspicious beast," its overall strength was no longer up to the top tier in the Three Realms.
Similar to the Qilin clan, there are also the Dragon clan and the Phoenix clan.
These ancient events are recorded in various historical books. Shi Xiangyun was also well-read, so how could she not know about them?
However, she never imagined that she would have such a profound connection with the Qilin clan...
Looking back now, there are some clues. If they weren't deeply involved, how could that golden unicorn-shaped spiritual treasure have recognized her as its master?
"Since that's the case, then let's use the Golden Qilin to drive away the demon! The way of auspicious beasts can suppress the sun and moon!"
Shi Xiangyun muttered to herself as she took out the Golden Qilin, a fourth-grade spiritual treasure, which was extremely precious. Within the Shi family, only one or two treasures left by their ancestor could rival it.
Then, Shi Xiangyun poured her magic power into the golden unicorn.
In an instant, the golden unicorn came to life, a small auspicious beast that soared into the air, lifelike.
"Mmm." Looking at Shi Xiangyun's image, the golden unicorn couldn't help but act coquettishly, revealing a sense of closeness.
Then, two golden unicorns, one large and one small, rushed out, riding on auspicious clouds, piercing through the evil mist, and heading straight for the demon!
The heavily armored demon's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Is the hairpin named 'Shi Xiangyun' the reincarnation of a beautiful girl from the Qilin clan?"
"Are those powerful figures dealing with an ancient, dominant clan?"
"No wonder it has attracted the attention of many weak saints, and even true primordial beings!"
The heavily armored troll was not afraid. He was a genuine Great Luo Immortal. This armor was forged over tens of millions of years by destroying dozens of immortal sects and collecting countless spiritual materials. Its defensive capabilities, while not unparalleled, were certainly top-notch within the Great Luo realm.
"Perfect, let me test whether the Qilin Beauty's abilities are just empty words!"
The heavily armored troll charged out, its entire body capable of launching attacks from every part.
The terrifying fist slammed down, causing the small auspicious beast to let out a mournful cry, and its golden light dimmed.
On the contrary, Shi Xiangyun's Qilin Dharma Form clashed with the giant demon. The golden light fell and left many white marks on the immortal armor. The collision of magic power sparked sparks. A single spark could burn the ancient divine mountain!
If it weren't for the divine light of the celestial array descending, not only Hengwu Garden, but the entire Grand View Garden would have suffered, and it would have even affected Ningrong Street and the capital city!
"Xiangling, Ying'er, and Cuilu, let's all cooperate with Sister Xiangyun to deal with that enemy!"
Xue Baochai transmitted her voice, ignoring the other demons' intentions, and said that the four of them should concentrate their strength to besiege the heavily armored giant demon, severely injure it, or better yet, kill it!
Only in this way can we deter the demons!
The reason why Xiangling, Ying'er, and Cuilu were summoned was because all three of them showed signs of recovery!
It's highly likely that they also had a remarkable past life, and their past achievements sensed danger and are rapidly reappearing.
As for the maids and servants in Hengwu Garden, their cultivation levels were relatively low, so they only needed to focus on guiding the divine array's radiance in the Grand View Garden. The task of directly confronting the enemy was left to the five of them.
"Rumble." Ying'er and Cuilu had also reached the Golden Immortal Realm and were still improving. They used their supernatural powers, and the fragrance of flowers wafted through the air, refreshing the heart and soul.
Xiangling's performance was undoubtedly better than Ying'er and Cuilu, and even rivaled that of Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun!
Xiangling had a tragic past. She didn't receive any proper education from the kidnappers and was beaten and scolded every day.
Later, she was bought by Xue Pan, who was also attracted by her beauty.
Because of the death that occurred, Aunt Xue did not want Xiangling to be taken as a concubine by Xue Pan too early, so she let Xiangling stay with Xue Baochai.
Afterwards, she moved into the Grand View Garden and Hengwu Garden with Xue Baochai, and even became a student of Lin Daiyu, learning poetry and songs from her.
Xiangling's extraordinary comprehension became apparent, and her breakthrough in cultivation was among the best in the Grand View Garden.
As a result, Aunt Xue paid even more attention to Xiangling, and even gave her a maid named Zhen'er. She also never agreed to Xue Pan taking Xiangling as a concubine.
Who is Xue Pan? How could Aunt Xue not know?
Although he is his own son, his personality and abilities... are indeed not up to par!
It would have been better if she had followed Xue Baochai, so that Xiangling could have brought out her true potential!
Xue Baochai's talent and comprehension are beyond doubt. In the Grand View Garden, she is considered the best, on par with Lin Daiyu. Jia Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun, as well as Jia Yingchun, Jia Xichun, Li Wan, Jia Baoyu, and others are all inferior to her.
"Whoosh." Xiangling's posture was graceful. She struck out with her palm, and a vast magical power surged forth. She alone was comparable to the combined power of Ying'er and Cuilu!
"Clang!" Even the heavily armored troll couldn't help but darken its eyes, sensing a hint of danger from Xiangling's palm strike.
However, what truly made this demon hold its breath was Xue Baochai's supernatural powers!
"Buzz..." Xue Baochai's plump face was very solemn, her eyes sparkling, and along with the palm print, a strange rhythm spread out.
In the dim light, there seemed to be flickering flames, but they were not clearly visible, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
The light flickered faintly, seemingly there but not there, yet it posed a great threat to the heavily armored troll!
"Damn it!" the armored troll cursed under his breath. An endless flame suddenly ignited in his mind, its temperature so low that it froze his heart, and all his emotions and thoughts almost ceased to function.
That was a secret technique that struck straight to the soul! It was terrifying!
Those immortal armors were not entirely unprepared for this, but ultimately they were not experts in this field.
The demon was inevitably affected by Xue Baochai's "Netherfire Heart Light," and his nerve reaction speed slowed down several beats.
In a battle between masters, the difference in skill can be very obvious even in a split second.
Naturally, this heavily armored giant was completely overwhelmed by the supernatural powers of Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Xiangling, Ying'er, and Cuilu!
"Swoosh." Although the immortal armor was not breached, the shockwave still caused the demon to vomit blood, his physical body to disintegrate, and his cultivation to dissipate.
At the same time, his heart was increasingly unable to resist the raging ghostly fire, as if it wanted to extinguish Xue Baochai's mind!
If it weren't for that extraordinary heavy armor, this demon would have been killed on the spot by the five women!
Even so, they were severely injured and in a sorry state. They barely mustered up some strength and quickly retreated!
"Five Golden Immortals... Among them, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Xiangling are at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, having touched the threshold of the Great Luo realm!"
"In their past lives, weren't they probably true Grand Luo Immortals?!"
The other demons were all on high alert, not daring to relax, fearing that they would be hit by the [Netherfire Heart Light] and then attacked one after another by the Qilin Dharma Image, and they would be in imminent danger.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the heavily armored troll self-destructed on the spot while fleeing.
"Huh?" Everyone turned their heads, becoming wary. Who had betrayed them?
They didn't believe that a heavily armored troll would be unguarded against others.
"Whoosh." The next second, celestial light flowed down, assimilating the troll's essence and counteracting the corrosive effects of the evil mist.
The heavy armor was also swallowed by the immortal light, becoming the core of the formation and increasing its power.
"There are such methods?" The demons were astonished. The Grand View Garden was so unique.
Unbeknownst to them, it was Cao Ya who was secretly guiding them.
But it was precisely because they were completely baffled that the demons became even more terrified. They were not only alarmed by the women of Hengwu Garden, but also by the Grand View Garden, which was already covered by evil mist!
Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Xiangling took the opportunity to leave Hengwu Garden and head towards Daguan Tower.
"Let's get to the lakeside first! We'll meet up with Second Sister, Lin Daiyu, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister!"
Xue Baochai said that Shi Xiangyun, Xiangling and the others had no objections. The maids and servants had always trusted Xue Baochai, so even if they had some complaints, they would not speak out and would obey Xue Baochai's orders.
The group quickly arrived at the lakeside, looked out over the lake, and spotted the painted boat!
“It must have been the work of Fourth Sister and Second Sister!” Shi Xiangyun said with a smile.
Xue Baochai looked around, her expression grave, and said, "We must not be careless! There might be unexpected events when the painted boat docks!"
Shi Xiangyun said, "Things have come to this point, we can only deal with them as they come."
Xue Baochai nodded silently. Deep within the black mist, how many evil spirits lurked... no one could say for sure!
"They're almost there!" Xiangling said, and everyone looked towards the lake, where a painted boat was seen speeding towards them.
Sea monsters swam around, making loud, terrifying noises.
Moreover, the black mist surged and drew ever closer, pressing down on the celestial light.
"Their attainments in Taoist arts may differ from their previous lives due to their family background and experiences in this life, but their merits will reappear, and they will almost always embark on the same path again."
"That's not bad either, after all, the realm of this life is far inferior to that of the previous life."
"Among them, only Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are exceptions."
Cao Ya thought to herself that, unlike the other beauties, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai's reincarnations were under close scrutiny and had potential hidden dangers.
Lin Daiyu's congenital weakness has not improved even now that she is a golden immortal.
The same applies to the heat toxin in Xue Baochai's body, which must be suppressed with Cold Fragrance Pills.
Both the [Ice Soul Divine Light] and the [Netherfire Heart Light] are vastly different from the paths taken by the former Crimson Pearl Fairy and Cold Fragrance Goddess.
But to be honest, Cao Ya actually favors the [Ice Soul Divine Light] and [Netherfire Heart Light] paths more!
The merits and achievements of Daiyu in their previous lives have been transformed into firewood, propelling them to break through realms in this life.
This can also cure congenital weakness and heat toxins; otherwise, even if one becomes a great immortal, it will be like a maggot clinging to one's bone, difficult to remove.
Daiyu and Baochai are ranked first in the official register of the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling" in the Land of Illusion.
"Alas, the virtue of stopping the loom; pitiful, the talent of composing poems like willow catkins. A jade belt hangs in the forest; a golden hairpin is buried in the snow."
Even the judgments were all written by the two women!
In the eyes of the Jade Emperor and his powerful lords, waiting for the end of the Dream of the Red Chamber, when the case is resolved, and when Daiyu and Baochai die after their fates have been completely exhausted... the Great Dao fruit that can be condensed by combining human destiny, love and hate, and all aspects of life will be extraordinary!
Without a doubt, it is the greatest achievement of Dream of the Red Chamber!
We need to use some tricks to deal with this.
Therefore, we now have a situation where these two women, Daiyu and Baochai, are completely different from the other women in the main register, secondary register, and supplementary register.
"That magical jade... they probably won't start harvesting it now!"
"In fact, they even hoped that the ladies, including Daiyu and Baochai, would be revived one after another..."
Cao Ya pondered silently:
"If it can help weak saints and true primordial beings... then medicines containing human destiny, the seven emotions and six desires, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, etc., are needed, but the most basic thing is still the unique fate of the women!"
"Of course, the stronger the women, the better!"
"The better the foundation, the sweeter the fruit that will eventually be!"
"They also don't believe that a group of beauties can all break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm!"
